Select Data to Include in Reports

The Universal Selector allows teachers and administrators to select the test data they want included in the report they’re viewing and at what level. Using the Roster tab, teachers can easily move from focusing on a single student’s performance to seeing how multiple students or an entire class performed. With the Test tab, you can focus on one test, filter by test type, or look at all the tests taken so far that year. At the same time, the Date tab lets you filter student test results by custom or common date ranges.
